Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The doctrine of unconscionability allows a court to decline enforcement of a contract if it is found to be grossly unfair or oppressive to one of the parties involved. In this case, if Holly feels that a clause in the contract is unconscionable, she may challenge its enforcement. The other options listed (mirror image rule, principle of fair trade, predominant-factor test) are not relevant to the issue of unconscionability.
